President Ho Chi Minh led the Vietnamese nation to success in the struggle for national independence.

On September 2, 1945, he read the Declaration of Independence, declaring to the world the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Over the past 50 years, the President’s testament has been the torchlight for Vietnam’s revolution.

President Ho Chi Minh was a talented leader, a national hero who devoted all his life to the national independence and freedom and happiness of the people while tirelessly striving for peace and progress in the world.

The exhibition will last till September 3.
